The
Cerulli Edge™—Global
Edition is designed to provide highlights and key
trends each month that are relevant to a different industry
focus. Coverage will be closely linked to critical financial
service industry issues. The annual subscription fee is
$15,000 per client firm, and includes a separate copy for each
key executive (up to 15 copies). We suggest that heads of key
business units be included, as well as CEOs, and directors of
marketing, strategy, product development and sales. |

May 2009


Highlights from the May 2009 issue of The
Cerulli Edge™—Global
Edition include:
- Troubled
banks and insurers seeking to offload their asset management
units are dominating fund industry M&A activity.
- Pressure is
growing on global managers to achieve cost savings through
increased scale via M&A, amid lower AUM and depressed net flows.
- These
trends could eventually create a more independently-owned,
consolidated fund management industry in both the U.S. and
Europe.
